was exactly in this room like you all taking notes and learning from John and Mark and everybody on the stage and uh I had the opportunity to speak with John a little bit and in one to two minutes in the conversation John actually stopped me and he says that I know who you are and then he said this he say you owe me a book and I thought no that's not exactly how it happens that this is my story and I'm sticking with it all right and so 8 years ago John was in Indonesia and when he was in Indonesia you know uh in Indonesia people looking for who is going to be his translator so as the fate goes I was the translator and then we were in a room like this and I need you all to along together with me you know and when when we were in the stage uh John start to say good morning Indonesia so I say Indonesia and right after that John says that if any of you understands what I'm speaking I need to play along with me can you please raise your hands and so the whole room put their hands up so I got the job for 30 seconds because he say hey my name is John I'm your friend but you have fired my friends so I went down the stage so uh I didn't I didn't actually get the job but what I got is that that day John imparted something into my life John told me that you need to write a book and so eight years later in this room at the backstage John reminded me that you need to write a book so John in the past five months since we met the last time I've written two books and I'm writing my third book right now come on come on yeah so uh there was 3,000 people in that room 8 years ago in Indonesia I am the prodigal son that John and Mark has been waiting for so long to come home that's right that's right so I know for a fact there is at least another 2,999 lost kids that will be coming home to Maxwell leadership indonation come on yeah come on there is there is a uh 200 80 million people in Indonesia so I think we can do a little bit better than 2,999 that's exactly but we're
